Digital has changed business forever – and the agricultural sector is no exception. The digitisation of applications, processes and technologies is giving the sector the opportunity to become more insight-driven, efficient and productive. Some of the biggest players in the agricultural market are investing millions into digital.

The bottom line in precision agriculture is also about cutting food waste. The impact will be highest when the food that is ultimately produced is used effectively through the best preservation and storage methods. Having food safety systems and facility to track supply chains will also boost the overall value of the sector.
